• Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance
Criteria or specific requirement: Per HUD requirements, a mandated amount is required to be deposited into the R4R account each month. The entity failed to make the 12 required monthly deposits.
Condition: During our testing, we noted that Bridge Point Senior Village failed to make one of the required twelve monthly deposits into the Replacement for Reserve account.
Questioned costs: None
Context: During our testing we noted 11 out of 12 monthly deposits to the Replacement for Reserve account.
Cause: The deposit was not made due to oversight.
Effect: Replacement Reserve is underfunded and not in compliance with HUD.

Recommendation: CLA recommends performing training regarding HUD requirements surrounding Replacement Reserve Provisions and introduce policies and procedures to prevent oversight of deposit requirements. We also recommend the amount of $564 be deposited immediately into the Replacement for Reserve Account.
Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
